#19: Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson’s life was marked by both immense talent and profound controversy. As the King of Pop, he left an indelible mark on the music industry with his iconic contributions. However, his personal life was marred by allegations and legal battles. Amidst the tumultuous chapters of his life, there was an interesting and less-known connection to the world of literature.
Jackson was an avid fan of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, a passion he held dearly. In fact, he even approached Rowling with the idea of creating a Harry Potter musical. Rowling, however, declined the offer, deeming it inappropriate. This curious intersection of pop culture and literature sheds light on a lesser-known facet of Michael Jackson’s multifaceted personality and interests.
